ron: I don't think that anybody has commented on the fact that according to IDCC's initial report of the license, the Kyocera fixed fee CDMA license expires this month. The license had an option to change from fixed fee to a per unit basis, and mschere often speculated on that possibility, but no announcement has ever been made, and we don't know whether that would have changed the expiration date. Since Kyocera took over the mobile phone business of Sanyo, another IDCC licensee, it would seem that there should be no problem in coming up with a new license. Since they are primarily involved with CDMA phones, waiting to see what the Nokia license terms may be should not be a major factor. Let's hope that our licensing team has accomplished something.
